Frequently asked questions about Skyla
What platforms does Skyla support?
Skyla is built specifically for Shopify merchants and integrates directly with Shopify stores to access product, order, and customer data; it is not positioned as a multi-platform chat solution for non-Shopify platforms.
Is there a free plan I can try?
Yes, Skyla provides a free-forever tier intended for low-volume testing or very small shops, which includes a capped number of monthly conversations so you can evaluate the product before upgrading.
How does Skyla handle complex questions it can’t answer?
Skyla supports AI-to-agent handover so conversations that need human attention can be escalated to your support team, ensuring customers aren’t left without resolution when the bot hits its limitations.
Do I need a developer to install Skyla?
No — Skyla is designed for self-serve signup and setup through the Shopify app flow, enabling merchants to install and configure the chat widget without requiring a developer or a sales call.
Can Skyla access my product and order information?
Yes — because Skyla integrates with Shopify it can read product listings and order data from your store to provide contextual, order-aware replies to customers within chat conversations.
What conversation limits exist on each plan?
The free tier includes a limited monthly conversation allowance suitable for trials and very small shops; the paid plan increases the number of conversations you can run per month, with the entry paid tier shown around $41.58/month providing a higher conversation cap.
How is billing handled for paid plans?
Paid plans are billed monthly through the self-serve sign-up process; upgrading from the free tier unlocks higher conversation limits and additional features and is processed as a recurring monthly charge.
Is there an API for custom integrations?
There is no publicly advertised API on the product listing, so custom integrations beyond the Shopify app capabilities are not clearly provided for public use.
Does Skyla provide analytics or reporting?
Skyla includes conversation analytics to help merchants monitor chat volume, handoffs to agents, and basic performance metrics so you can evaluate bot effectiveness and support load.
Who is the ideal user for Skyla?
The ideal user is a Shopify merchant, particularly small-to-medium sized shops that want an easy-to-install AI chat assistant to reduce support load, capture leads, and provide 24/7 customer responses without building custom infrastructure.
